Hi Fernando, there exist several ways, how to set a background. Can you give more details, or better, provide a shortened version (2 slides are enough) of the presentation for download. (Attachments are not possible here.)

You got it wrong. If I maintain ODP format and use AOO 4.1 exclusively, the background image is always "autofit". But as soon as I save to PPT and load the presentation in MS Powerpoint Viewer 2007, that "autofit" is gone... I don't know the screen size of the playback system beforehand (could be a dozen different screen sizes). I just want the Powerpoint export to retain the "autofit" attribute of the background bitmap.

AOO 4.1 here. XP64 I created a multi-slides (66 slides so far) presentation using one of the templates. When I preview the slideshow in AOO 4.1,everything looks fine. As soon as I export the presentation to MS Powerpoint, and load it in MS Powerpoint Viewer 2007, the background bitmap, which looked stretched to fill the whole screen and as such with text centered on it, becomes 1/3 of the screen on the powerpoint viewer 2007, and as such text gets overlaid over the borders of the bitmap.
